1
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's Bruce. Thanks for pulling up a chair

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: today on Table for two. I had lunch last week

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: with an incredibly talented actress by the beach. I might

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: add you all know her. She's from across the pond,

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: though she's from Great Britain, the incredible mini driver. And

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, you guys should listen to

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more of this conversation. It was so good.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: She's so enchanting and extremely honest. So enjoy today's snippet.

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it of our conversation. The full lunch

10
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: will drop next week.

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So I think I know the answer to this,

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: and no, maybe I don't.

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 3: Where's your happy place?

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 4: I mean my happy place is in the ocean, But

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: the happy happiest is if I can see the people

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 4: that I love on the beach and wave to them occasionally,

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: and a.

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Cold beer and a cold beer, yes, PACIFICA do you soa?

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: When have you not asked for permission but then had

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 5: to ask for forgiveness?

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: Boy? Oh boy, that's a great question. I pretty much

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 3: feel like every time I've opened my map.

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: Great, I really done.

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: And my mother was the same.

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: She said, what she thought, which most often was not

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: the most politic It was not the thing that was

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: going to endear her to certain people, but it was

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: how she felt, and there was a wonder of articulation

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: in it. I don't believe in being sloppy in the

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: things that you say. Even the most outlandish things that

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: I've said, I could probably I could still defend them

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: because I understand what they were, how they were articulated,

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: from what place that was coming from. But I don't

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 4: think you should waste time censoring what you what you feel,

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: if you've given it some thought. You know, women are

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: called outspoken. I've never heard of a man be called outspoken.

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: I think it's my least favorite word, along with should,

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: because what is that spoken outside of what the bands

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: of what has been described as.

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: Acceptable of that.

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: It is speaking what you feel and what you think,

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: and people often don't like it because it doesn't accommodate

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: the sensibility of like not offending anybody, or maybe I

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: should stop talking now.

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: I think you answered I didn't know what you would say,

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 5: and I think it's a great answer.

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: What is the first hour of your day and when

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: you are not working?

50
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it really is like it's coffee with my love,

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: like first and foremost. I love that sort of slightly

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: sleepy early morning coffee sitting in a robe, knowing that

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: like going and doing something physical is what comes next.

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: It's sort of like this lovely calm before the storm.

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: And then I love the storm. I love I love

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: going for a run, I love dancing, I love surf.

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: Whatever it is I'm gonna go, do I really enjoy that?

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: So that first hour.

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 5: Is that That's key. And also, you know what I

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 5: like about that is like the appreciation of time.

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: What movie is.

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 5: That the most influence on you? And what did it influence?

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't give any of these heads.

64
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I didn't give these ahead of times. I'll tell you.

65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: I mean with Neela and I had a really huge

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 4: effect on me when I was I think I was

67
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: fifteen when that movie came out, and I know this

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: is a movie. There are no women in this film

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: at all. It does not pass the Bechdel test, does

70
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: not like it is not.

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: PC.

72
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: But there is the most genius confluence of tragedy and

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 4: humor in that film. The way it is shot, there's

74
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: a voracity to it. The performances Richard D. Grant is

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: savagely brilliant. I think I realized how films, the films

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: that I would love and the films that I wanted

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: to make, were the ones that really did make you laugh,

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: but ultimately were gut wrenching. By the time Richard Ybrant

79
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: at the end of that film is in Regent's Park

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: in the pouring rain, reciting Hamlet. I mean, I'm in

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: tears every time, and yet I've I've laughed all the

82
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: way along and the sat the soundtrack is incredible that

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: it's sharply edited.

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: There's no fat on that movie.

85
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 4: There's a leanness to the performances, no indulgent non It's

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: just it set me up for knowing.

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: What it was I want. I wanted to be attracted to.

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 5: In a word, if you had to just be descriptive,

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: Robin Williams.

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: The kindest, the most generous, all that other stuff, all

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: of the many things that he was.

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: He was kind and he was generous.

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: Two of the things that value most in people, of

94
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: kindness and generosity. If you had to sort of pick

95
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: a word to describe both places in your life, Hollywood, London.

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe the many that's the many of Hollywood

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: and the mini of London.

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: It's so weird because I.

99
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: Know how to be in both those places and they

100
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: require almost like a different head.

101
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: It's like I have it in my carry on and

102
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: as we're landing take care of the English, threw it on,

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 3: put away my sunny hair. But there's I feel like

104
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: I need both.

105
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: I get that because I let's face that, I really

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 4: did live until COVID. We only kind of semi move

107
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: back to London during COVID and as a function of

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: my kid being able to go to school, like I

109
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: have lived here for twenty seven years in California, and

110
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: I was twenty four when I arrived, and I'm fifty

111
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: four and I literally feel like I went to Pavilions

112
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: to get milk.

113
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: And that's it, Isn't it crazy? It's insane.

114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: I always say be prepared because when you hit.

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: Thirty, it's like someone trusses a button and it goes

116
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: into fast forward and fifty. They lift their thumb up first.

117
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 3: Second and you're like, oh my god, what happen?

118
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: And then they press it again, so we're in the zone.

119
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: First concert, oh my god, it.
